About What do you think of the Minneapolis Condo Market

What do you think of the Minneapolis Condo Market?
I'm a young professional working in downtown minneapolis. I currently live in the suburbs and would like to relocate close to the downtown area and either rent or buy a condo. Rent for a nice place would probably run upwards of $1000 to $1200 for a 1BR...likewise if I bought a condo in the area I could get one cheap enough to have my mortgage be $1200. I only plan to live in a condo for maybe 3 years then try to sell it or rent it out and recoup my mortgage payments. Anyone have any comments or forecasts with regards to the downtown minneapolis condo market? Is three years too short of a time frame?

Yes, three years is too short of a time frame if you plan on selling. As you mentioned, renting the condo when you move elsewhere is a great idea. It is a nice diversification of your personal investment portfolio. Even with the real estate meltdown over the last four years, real estate investments have outperformed all other investment since the year 2000. Mike Weiland - Keller Williams Realty.

Is there a business in Minneapolis that will hire a mentally ill person (no skills but good worker)?
My son is mentally ill, 31 years old, and is looking for part-time work. He functions well with medication, but does seem a bit odd due to his illness. He had a job as a busboy for a local restaurant, but the business closed after he was there just one week. Any help for resources in the Minneapolis area would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

If you son has a serious mental illness (Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar) he is likely eligible for numerous services including assistance with employment. It would be beneficial for you to look at services available from your local mental health centers as these entities specialize in working with people on many life domains- not just medication management or therapy. A quick search on the internet lead me to the following in your area; Tasks Unlimited, Inc (http://www.tasksunlimited.org), Rise, Inc (http://www.rise.org) and Goodwill Industries. I suggest you and your son begin making phone calls and investigating what services are available nearby. Navigating "the system" can be difficult but obtaining the right services can be life changing.

Good breeders don't breed mutts. Try you local rescue or animal shelter. Or you could also try Petfinder.com they'll have puppies that are from your area. Don't support BYB and puppy mills by buying your dog from one of these "mixed breeders"

You don't get a mix from a breeder you get a mix from a rescue or shelter. Don't spend big bucks for mutts. Breeders should only be breeding purebreds

How many years of work experience do you need before you can find a decent-paying job out-of-town?
I really hate the city I live in, especially the people, and I cannot take it anymore. I wanted to relocate immediately after graduating from university, but no one wanted to hire someone fresh out of college with no relevant experience. I have traveled all around the country and narrowed my search down to a few select cities. Is it possible for someone with one year of relevant work experience -- plus a Bachelor's degree -- to land a job in Seattle, Sacramento, Minneapolis, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Richmond or Baltimore? Or are employers looking for candidates with several years of experience? I like my current job, but I cannot tolerate this city/region; never have, never will. Please help me out... I have never relocated before and am desperate to be the next person to make his exodus from this sinking hellhole.

It really depends on what you do. For instance, if you were in the medical field, like nursing or occupational therapy, you shouldn't have a problem. The same would probably apply for a teaching degree. But if you were in certain business or financial fields, it may be more difficult for you.
2 :
That is a trick question. It depends on where you live. LA or NY $50K year you will starve. Seattle, Portland $50K you will live fine. $100K in Texas you will live like a king.

South Minneapolis would be a good place to start - both the Southwest and Longfellow areas. I think the homes/yards may be bigger in the Southwest neighborhoods - Linden Hills, Tangletown, Uptown area - I think along Minnehaha Parkway too. That area - Southwest Minneapolis - is definitely more "affluent". It sounds like that's where you'd want to be. You may, however, have an easier time finding properties for sale in the Longfellow neighborhood, but not nearly as affluent - again, along Minnehaha Parkway in Longfellow would be some of the bigger Craftsmen style homes. And, there are fewer of them (I think) over in Longfellow. Along with the "affluence" comes schools with more resources, more established/safer neighborhoods, etc: Southwest Minneapolis. I found this website that seems to not quite be working, but whoever runs it could probably give you some more info about what's available: http://www.housesofminneapolis.com/craftsman.

Theodor Geisel: Where's the highest concentration of his original (non-ad) work open to the public year round?
I'm trying to view Theodor Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) original art work (not his ad or war work). Where is there a good concentration of galleries that carry Dr. Seuss work? I stumbled on one in either Minneapolis or Seattle. It's been so long now I can't remember. I've seen the outdoor sculpture in Pennsylvania on line but that's not his work. I'd like to go where I can see in person a good quantity of his childrens' book art and secret works. If there's a museum showing it that would be ideal.
